I think you meant Schadenfreude Lou. I don't think that there is such a word as Freundenschade in German.
I don't know who your buddy is (or why you're acting as his sock puppet here) but my first hand experience is that no one in USAF public affairs would say something like that. And that is based on 20 years experience, from base level to the Pentagon, state-side and overseas.

As far as anyone knows, Barry is still signing her pay checks. No pun intended there.
oh yeah. So you bail and what happens the next time you try and sell? You're damage goods and ineffectual. Credibility is a lot like virginity -- once you lose it...
Lou Figueroa
Well, no, Stu, that's the thing. If you're going to come here and cheerlead for an event, or product, or whatever, then you can't bail when things go south. If you tell everyone how great things are going to be, then you should also be able to explain why they weren't.

BB is a con man. To perpetrate a successful con, the con man needs people who are desperate to believe.
Since the pool world has so few options, nearly everyone in it is desperate to believe.
What is the con?
Yes what is the con? "Added" money not added? What a surprise. Or something else? I really find it hard to believe people refer this tournament as a "U.S. Open" when nobody can even scare up a 1/2 dozen decent minor sponsors to guarantee the prize fund. Did more than 10 "pros" break even after reasonable expenses?
Someone should plant drugs on him an call the cops!
Nobody in the USAF PAO office would say that because they even BS each other.
PAOs are paid "spinners". They are nothing more than "Sham WOW Specialists!". They will say WHATEVER the BOSS says or what "sells"...it isn't necessarily the TRUTH in ALL matters.
What are you trying to get at here, Lou? I'm not recommending any course of action nor am I condoning what I believe to be Barry's likely course of action.
I'm simply stating that to assume that anyone will come on this forum and try to explain anything is unreasonable. Maybe yes and maybe no.
Barry cannot lose any credibility since he has none. What he can lose, however, is his sanctioning and in that eventuality we might not see a field of this quality for quite a while.
I guess i didnt read all of them but i saw her cya in most of them . Essentially we were told what "Barry says"
What would you have her explain? The dog can only eat the homework so many times. There's nothing she, or anyone else could say that would be plausible or make any difference. She probably needs the job so the best alternative she had is silence.
I don't think you have to plant drugs on him, I'm pretty sure he did a bit of time for something not too long ago. Or at least got in trouble with the law if not actual prison time.
